Chapter 1783: Generous Personal Rewards
Joking aside, this set was a special item. Xu Huo took it out to try it on. The cloak's hem hung straight to the ground, covering his feet. It had a hood that, when worn, made it difficult to flip off. The mask was a single piece with simple facial features carved into it. When worn, he could see outside. The whole set could completely conceal a person.
Standing in front of the mirror, wearing the cloak created a faint floating sensation when moving, as if each step left behind a bit of shadow, blurring the wearer's actions and movements.
The Painting Woman was very curious about the cloak. She came over to pull off his hood, but unexpectedly, an inch away from the brim, she was blocked by some force and couldn't touch the cloak itself.
The Painting Woman refused to give up. She tried to grab the hem of his robe but also failed to reach it. Then, drawing an inference from one instance, she took out a prop that Mr. Dong had lent her to play with, pulled the cord, and blew a strong wind directly at Xu Huo.
The bedsheets and papers in the room flew everywhere in disarray. Although Xu Huo's cloak swayed, the amplitude was not large, and it showed no sign of being lifted. Moreover, the mask blocked the strong wind, and the one-way visibility was unaffected.
He then asked the Painting Woman to try attacking him. The final conclusion was that the cloak had some defensive function, but it still retained the softness of fabric and could not form a hard barrier like a defensive item to completely isolate external attacks.
The Painting Woman was very interested in the "Mysterious Person" set and eagerly asked Xu Huo to let her play with it.
After figuring out the general usage, Xu Huo took off the set, instructed her not to leave the room, and then went to look at the other rewards.
The personal rewards included two A-grade items, three B-grade items, six C-grade items, two special items, one new primary trait, one extended trait, one primary trait and one extended trait upgrade, one opportunity to upgrade any primary trait, various B-grade and A-grade potions, several tickets, and fifty million White Notes.
Two temporal-spatial attribute subclass stones.
One luggage compartment upgrade.
One upgrade for the Dimensional Crack Library borrowing card permissions, and one upgrade for the Under Dimension public contact hall member account permissions.
One household robot. Ten energy storage panels, and one set of energy-saving household appliances.
One ticket to the Happy Transit Station.
The game is generally stingy with clearance rewards, usually leaning towards one aspect. For example, if there are many items, there won't be many traits; if there are many traits, there won't be many White Notes. But the richness of this personal reward was something Xu Huo hadn't expected, covering almost every aspect.
First, the A-grade items:
[Realm of Thought: An item specifically crafted for Mental Super Evolvers, allowing players to easily double their mental control power, both in range and depth. Moreover, this item also provides a certain level of protection for the player's brain, reducing mental interference from other players or instruments.]
[Note: Thinking is divergent. When in good condition, the item's effect will be doubled. But please be aware that excessive divergence can also lead to multiplied consumption for the player.]
[Dimensional Mist: A trait defense item that can be used for ten minutes each day. It is a masterpiece born from a chance creation by an Artificer. The materials used include strange materials from a mysterious district. Its working principle has yet to be understood, but when using this item, a fine sand-like mist will appear around the holder. It resembles real gravel but cannot cause any harm to people, nor can it provide any defense against items. Through repeated experiments by the Artificer, it was found that this mist can block the vast majority of traits that do not involve actual contact. Due to its uniqueness and irreproducibility, it was named "Dimensional Mist."]
"Realm of Thought" was nothing special, but "Dimensional Mist," a trait with "no actual contact," should specifically refer to those traits that can control people or items from a distance, such as restricting a player's actions or causing items to fall from a certain distance. Xu Huo's "Power of Writing" also falls into this category, while traits like Zhou Ning's hair-growing combat could not be defended against.
Simply put, it's a bit like something specifically designed to counter spatial power traits.
Earlier, Xu Huo had used a subclass stone to create an A-grade defense trait item, "Life Flashback." When "Life Flashback" is attacked, it will cause time within a fifty-meter radius of the player to stop for five seconds. During these five seconds, general trait attacks will not take effect, and the attacker's posture will be revealed. The item can be used three times consecutively, with a twelve-hour cooldown.
Its defense range is wider, but the usage restrictions are greater. The two items complement each other.
The three B-grade items included defensive and offensive types, not as outstanding as the A-grade items, so they could be skipped.
The special items were more interesting, including one location item.
[Snowflake Grand Hotel: A location item with complete living facilities. It includes three floors of suites, ten single rooms, and ten double rooms, capable of accommodating multiple people for rest. Non-item holders must pay a certain fee to enter. It combines functions such as rest, material storage, and obtaining additional income, making it an excellent portable item for players traveling or living on the go.]
[Parallel Lines: As everyone knows, parallel lines cannot intersect. Therefore, when a player uses this item, the target of its effect will maintain a considerable distance from the user and cannot approach each other. Within the three minutes it is active, anyone who accidentally intervenes in the tracks of the two parallel lines will maintain parallel movement until the item expires.]
No wonder it came with a household robot and energy storage panels, along with household appliances for use with the panels. These could be used in the hotel. With a place to stay and energy, plus enough stored water and food, the "Snowflake Grand Hotel" could be used as a mobile villa.
Next were the traits.
First, the new primary trait:
[The Sole Protagonist: Although there is only a one in ten thousand chance of becoming the protagonist, even a passerby has his moment of glory. When he becomes the most eye-catching among thousands of performers, he is the absolute protagonist.]
[The absolute protagonist not only attracts the audience's attention but also the performers on the same stage. Therefore, when the passerby uses this trait, anyone who can see or hear him will be irresistibly drawn to his gaze and gradually lose themselves.]
This is a very basic trait, with an effect somewhat like the upgraded "Intensity of Writing." However, "Intensity of Writing" has clear range restrictions and compulsion, while "The Sole Protagonist" is more flexible and also incorporates the effect of "The Narrator's Charm."
Below it is an extended trait:
[The Art of Deception: An absolute protagonist must possess superb acting skills. Even if the passerby's acting skills may not reach the level of "superb," under the spotlight of the absolute protagonist, they can gain a "superb" filter. Therefore, at this time, whether the passerby speaks the truth or lies, someone will unconditionally believe him. As if he really is a good person.] (End of chapter)
